Summer, or at least Spring, is about to be here...and I am starting to pull out my treasures out of the several shoe boxes in the wardrobes and cellar.
Every year I get surprised of how many shoes I have and still...."nothing to wear"! It's so great to discover some surprises I already forgot to have during the winter...like the adorable Melissa Shoes from Brazil!

At the moment I have collected five pairs of them..actually one is on sale @ebay at the moment...and I was thinking of ordering some new stuff for the Spring, bit I just got the GREAT NEWS that they have opened a shop in Milan!

Plastic Love in Milan

I have to say that the idea of the plastic shoes was not really something I was searching for, but after trying these I just had to change my mind! The don't smell...they have actually a good fragrant, even after you use them...really! And they are so easy to wash!


You never forget your First Love. Vivienne Westwood for Melissa. My absolutely favorite pair!

And this one is called "Mermaid"

And this style...I don't know the name of it. But it works also as a sort of a Rain boot for Ladies :-)

And these are on sale...Jean-Paul Gaultier for Melissa.
Reason: wrong color... (for me)

Then I still want these:
"Campana Zig Zag"

and these...

check out the rest yourselves!
